Menu was far too overpriced for the quality and atmosphere. I would go back with a bunch of friends for a margarita happy hour but never otherwise. It was pretty standard Mexican food but the menu somehow seemed to be lacking. A friend and I ended up splitting the veg fajitas. The vegetables were over seasoned and weighed down with oil. Still decent, but nothing to write home about. The bathrooms were sketchy too!

While the margaritas were substantial and quite good, it's best to get a pre-dinner drink here then head next door to Las Ramblas to eat.

Tio Pepe may not be gourmet, but their amazing drink selection makes up for it. Affordable cocktails at their best!
